  • Preferably one column must be an identifier and labeled Observation or Identifier. If the Observation or Identifier column is missing, the system assigns a default observation column, with default observation numbers.
  • Empty or missing values are expected to be replaced by a period “.” in the data set test file and in table viewer, although non consecutive blanks are also acceptable.
  • The first column must be a header column. Otherwise, unselect the check box “Column With Headers” to assign default Column headers. Follow the steps to open the file. The file is loaded in the table in the middle left , each column corresponding to a variable, with Observation as the first variable.

What are the requirements of a dataset in Aroni format?

Aroni dataset format must be as follows:

Aroni formatted data has three sections:

  • An optional comments section at the top. The comments lines must start with /*, *, */, % or //
  • The next section, which is required, is the declaration section. That is where the attributes of the data and the variables are defined.
